Course went on, reportedly? (4)
I believe the answer is:
road
'course' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'went on reportedly?' is the wordplay.
'went on' becomes 'rode' (I've seen this in another clue).
'reportedly?' shows a homophone (sound like) (I've seen 'reportedly' mean this).
'rode' is a homophone of 'ROAD'.
(Other definitions for road that I've seen before include "Parting guests used to take 'one for the --'" , "mine gallery" , "Way to achieving a particular outcome" , "Way from A to B" , "Street" .)
